NWN Tinkering Again

[Conan The Conqueror]

Bit more free time on the hands lately, so I have been playing around with portraits and overrides again. Found some neat stuff on the vault and was just messing around with possible overrides for default content like PC heads. Thought I'd share for people to have a look, comment, and make suggestions if they wanted.

Also, I would like to point out that the files here are from the KotOR Heads pack at NWvault.

UPDATE: Since I picked this back up, I will repost the download links as soon as I finish editing the files.

EDIT: Thought it would be good to list the model numbers for each.

021 and 021 alt (039), 001 and 001 alt (037)
005 and 005 alt (038), 006 and 006 alt (045)

[hide=First set of options][/hide]

013 and 013 alt (035), 001 and 001 alt (036)

008 and 008 alt (046), 018 and 018 alt (044)

[hide=Second set][/hide]

You'll noticed I posted one head twice, as I saw two options that might work. The 'override' heads are all taken from KotOR models.

016, 016 alt (047) and 017, 017 alt (046)
012, 012 alt (042) and 001, 001 alt (032)

[hide=Third Set][/hide]

005, 005 alt (049) and 025, 025 alt (028)
003, 003 alt (033) and 007, 007 alt (030)

[hide=Fourth Set][/hide]

008, 008 alt (043) and 009, 009 alt (048)

[hide=Fifth Set][/hide]
These next couple sets are from the heads created by Xaltar.

Hello Commander Riker (bottom picture, top right)

[Ommadawn]

Very, very nice.

[Conan The Conqueror]

Here's a few more, with more to come. Since the female heads are a bit more intricate in terms of colors and potential clashes, I will be posting several shots of them in the future with color as well as shots of current in game NPCs and PCs, so people have a good idea before they download anything and use it.

After some good testing and work I'll make the individual files available for people to download and use.

EDIT: Going to update the first post.

[TheMacPanther]

Sweet.

[Conan The Conqueror]

That's essentially it for now. 24 head overrides total, with 10 for males and 14 for females. Again suggestions and comments are welcome. Also, depending on time, if someone has a particular request for a different pairing of overrides, just let me know and I'll see what I can do. (If you think one head looks better replacing a different one than those shown above)

Once I've finished editing the .mdl files and give them a good test run in game I'll post some shots of notable PC's and NPC's so that everyone has a look at how the override works on current characters.

I will say that this kind of override is generally better for fresh characters, though we'll see how horrid some of the clashes might be.

If this is actually going to become a for real head pack for EfU, I have a few contributions I'd like to make. They will have to wait though, because I am incredibly busy with work.

[Conan The Conqueror]

I also wanted to note that all of the above heads make use of the tattoo color palette/textures in order to create eye and lip color. (lip color only available to females) This can potentially make for some very bizarre appearances for existing characters and NPC's - depending on what they have selected for their tattoo colors. Not many PC's I've seen have tattoos, but even if you left it the default color, this may look a little strange on some female heads/lips.

I'll have more details soon.

Unfortunately the overrides do not work well with large phenotype models/characters. So I shall have to learn how to scale/apply the textures to large pheno heads before I can release this.

Otherwise it creates some rather bizarre texture issues when you encounter a large pheno character.

This is what happens when things go bad:



And here's a preview of some of the heads in game:

Vasard looks like he's about to jump your bones.
 
Looking forward to the final release!

[TheMacPanther]

Damn sexy, but Kingsman does have a touch of the rape in his eyes. Best see to that.

[Dhund]

I thought it fit.
